HanesBrands to acquire DB Apparel from Sun Capital

25 Jun '14
4 min read

DBA sells innerwear in 16 countries, primarily in Western and Central Europe. Approximately 45 percent of company sales are in France, while the Germany/Austria market accounts for approximately 15 percent of sales. Italy, Spain and Portugal together account for another 20 percent of sales.

DBA’s strong brands include DIM, Playtex and Wonderbra in multiple countries. DIM accounts for approximately 50 percent of all sales. Strong national brands include Nür Die hosiery in Germany, Lovable intimate apparel in Italy, and Abanderado men’s underwear in Spain.

There are significant opportunities to leverage the increased scale of the combined company and global supply chain. DBA utilizes a mix of self-owned manufacturing and sourcing from third-party manufacturers.
 
Like Hanes, DBA self-manufactures the significant majority of its hosiery products, with production facilities in France, Germany, Slovakia and Romania. However, DBA outsources the production of approximately 75 percent of its intimate apparel and underwear, whereas Hanes owns significant intimate apparel and underwear production around the world.
 
“DBA is a great company with an outstanding management team and world-class employees,” said Gerald W. Evans Jr., Hanes’ chief operating officer. “The company is well-run, a market leader, and mirrors our Innerwear business. We are looking forward to welcoming the DBA team to Hanes. Together, we have the world’s best innerwear brands, the most knowledgeable employees in the industry, and the size and passion to be the best basic apparel company in the world.”
